I've been planning on building my own lightsaber for years now but have never gotten around to it and much of my need has been fulfilled by FX lightsabers
and Master Replicas/eFX hilts. However, I still do have a bag of parts that need to be assembled one of these days. Someone on the Rebelscum boards is selling
a Graflex 3-cell flash gun and Exactra calculator for parts to make a Darth Vader saber from the original Star Wars. While they're outside my price range,
the images of the flash gun really show you how little they were changed to make
them into the famous movie props. The calculator contains magnifying "bubbles" that
became the lightsaber's activator button.

As I'm interested in doing a Steampunk version of Clone Wars Obi-Wan, this for both Dragoncon and CV, I'm going to have to build a lightsaber. I have some ideas but it is totally up to pieces and parts I find. I also have to invest in a dremel set and soldering gun first.
maybe this could become a workday again for a few people. |

I'd love to dig up my old lightsaber greeblies and make some progress on my abandoned homemade lightsaber project.
I also really like that idea of a Steampunk Obi-Wan. -Campbell Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon. |
